German Ministers Preparing 'Putsch' Against Merkel - Spiegel

Senior ministers in Germany are no longer trying to reach a compromise on Immigration with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Traditional political allies and supporters whose loyalty could be taken for granted are gradually becoming her main opponents. The German Chancellor is not only losing power over the refugee crisis in Europe, but she is also unable to manage her own government, German magazine Der Spiegel wrote (English version here).

German government officers are no longer trying to reach a compromise with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on immigration, with the country sliding towards civil unrest the chancellor refuses to reconsider her idiotic 'open doors' immigration policy which has seen towns and cities swamped with new arrivals, who do not speak German, have no appropriate skills and hold Germany's liberal culture, particularly womens' rights, in contempt. The report reveals starting to act behind the scenes. Angela Merkel has lost control over her own government with former “friends” increasingly becoming her major “enemies”.

The migration crisis has become a crisis of confidence in the government and caused chaos in the country’s leading circles, columnist Jakob Augstein wrote for the magazine. First, members of the ruling coalition agreed on the new strategy towards migrants, according to which refugees would be allowed to stay in Germany for three years and be able to reunite with their families in the future.

Then, however, German Minister of the Interior Thomas de Maiziere suddenly announced substantial tightening of previously-approved mechanisms and was backed by German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble, who stressed the need to limit the number of newcomers to the country in order to maintain economic stability.

The apparent inability to deal with the crisis in an effective way has raised concerns about the unity and efficiency of the current German government as well as its ability to tackle the crisis and associated breakdown of law and order. The sole purpose of those opposing Merkel is to limit the number of refugees,” the journalist who authored the piece in the left wing publication Spiegel added, claiming that the behavior of the politicians is destructive and can be called nothing less than a “putsch”.
